This weekend, thousands of people will flock to Manchester. Some of the most exciting acts on this year's line-up include 50 Cent, Megan Thee Stallion, Headie One, Kojey Radical, Children of Zeus and Central Cee.
But while many people are gearing up to enjoy music the way it should be, many of us (me included) are STILL stressing about what we're going to wear. Having to look fire for one day is stressful enough, but two? THE PAIN.
To try and help ease the last-minute outfit panic buying pain, we have put together a guide of the best outfits to wear for this year's Parklife. We've opted for stores with next day delivery so you can make sure they arrive on time (or at least, you'd hope so).

This year's key festival trends include: Y2K (think corsets, graphic print crop tops and leather pants), Zebra print, cargo pants, crochet and beaded bags. Here are some of our favourites:
I bought this bag a while ago and it is one of my favourite ZARA pieces to date. I get SO many compliments on it - honestly, people love it. People think it's designer and costs A LOT more than it does. It's the perfect piece to jazz up a plain or more lively outfit.
Sushi print knit T-shirt - £22.99
A great unisex option. Also means you can eat burgers without worrying about bloat in a minidress. Just a thought.
Cargo trousers X RHUIGI - £55.99
Honestly obsessed with these cargo pants. If I wasn't 5'1, I'd be copping them for myself.
TRACK SOLE ANKLE BOOTS - £69.99
It's Manchester, it'll probably rain. End of story.

So Parklife is most certainly back. Yes, it was back last year too, but this time it feels different. There are no vaccine passports, no LFTs, no masks, no elbow bumping. It all feels like it was a nightmare and that ‘new normal’ that people were talking about has been truly abandoned, in favour of the old normal, which everyone liked fine.
